“Being necessary to the security of a free state” doesn’t mean “being necessary to the citizens’ ability to shoot government officials if they don’t like paying taxes.” …

Mister “Political Cognition” here seems to be utterly unaware that the War of Independence was fought over exactly that issue among others. Of course, it will not sink in to his brain until citizens are shot for not paying illegal taxes. (Not that he understands the concept of a “free state” . . . that “political cognition” kinda gets in the way.)

The Americans won the Revolutionary War because we used guerilla tactics that drove the British military crazy--like what happened at Lexington and Concord and in South Carolina.

An armed citizenry is the very reason why a true tyranny like what happened in Soviet Union and China didn't happen here.
